Last month, I expressed my appreciation of the recent marbleized trend, and this month, my love has yet to dissipate. Especially now that I’ve laid eyes on Balenciaga’s latest Le Dix Cartable bag. It looked great in black leather with white piping, and now the style has been reinvented yet again in a print worthy of a Greek goddess or a Roman holiday.

There is something coolly unexpected about the brand’s way with the pattern. In creamy white contrasted with black ripples, it resembles something that could have been snatched from a museum’s ancient collection. Set on the silhouette of a ladylike top handle-to-modern crossbody, depending how you choose to carry it, it oozes sophistication. It appears Balenciaga has what it takes to make the Le Dix hold our interest for the long haul. I’m looking forward to seeing what motif they come up with next. Balenciaga Le Dix for $1,925.

This adorable little bag has such a great shape. It’s taken some inspiration from a classic north-south tote and restyled it to irresistibly detailed effects. Tapering towards the top, it’s got the same of appeal as a bucket yet it’s totally different. Any bigger and you might find yourself losing things; this size is ideal.

It’s small, but a small bag is big enough if you don’t have young children and all their gear, or you need your tablet with you, or a change of shoes…I could go on. I mean, you know this isn’t a bag you’re going to live out of, but I’m used to cutting down. I’m all about the bare essentials!

Don’t be deceived: the rings the strap clips to are decorative. I like it when hardware serves both a functional and aesthetic purpose, which should always be so. I’m not a fan of extraneous hardware, but I’m willing to let it slide because this bag, in navy, aubergine, or hot pink, is such a great frugal score.

Leave your overstuffed tote at home. One of the great joys of summer is walking around the city, country or beach hands free — thanks to a practical, statement-making or classic crossbody bag. We've rounded up a bunch of our favorites, Whether you are looking for a saddle bag or mini pouch, we've got you covered for the season.

At this moment, my entire wish list consists of an assortment of seasonal accessories especially in the theme of nautical blues. I’ve anchored on to early summer favorites that range in shades of turquoise to navy, but it’s the handbags that sport fun aquatic prints that are making it to the top of my preference list. Rebecca Minkoff features a rather different print on her ever so popular Love Satchel; check out this quilted satchel in the cool print of Marble.

It’s interesting to see this mosaic pattern on a leather handbag as marbled print is most commonly thought of and seen in home and textiles. This day-to-night shoulder bag is uniquely designed and would make an effortless expression against light colored clothing this season.

Although I highly admire, I have always been too hesitant to give into a tie-dyed handbag; but this marble-effect print strut a serious attractive appeal. Asides from this artistic vibe, the Quilted Love bag is such a timeless piece to the Rebecca Minkoff Collection; this bag in particular features a removable chained body strap, a turn lock closure and silver toned hardware.

For most large brands, men's bags are something of and afterthought. If a satchel or tote design works well in the women's line, it gets simplified, enlarged and made more neutral in order to appeal to dudes, and that's about as far as most brands go when it comes to innovative design for their male fanbases. That probably sounds boring, which it is. Thankfully, Louis Vuitton puts more thought and detail into its men's bags than most other premier designer brands combined, and it really showed on the Spring 2017 runway in Paris earlier today.

The bags had a safari feel to them, but thankfully without the overdose of khaki and olive tones that are so often used when that theme is invoked. Instead, the collection's main color story was blue, which made the whole thing feel like a highly stylized storybook adventure. That feeling was encouraged by the gorgeously detailed illustrations of animals that graced several of the bags, plus animal prints on many others. Don't let those bold bags distract you from some of the collection's quieter woven pieces, though, which are just as beautiful and a bit more subtle.

LOUIS VUITTON MAN BAGS

If you love the Celine Trio Pouch, then you might have an obsession for small shoulder bags. I mean, they are perfect right? Especially for the night-outs and the evening diners. It’s also effortless, so easy to carry the shoulder.

If you need to know more about the Celine Trio Pouch, we recently did an interview with one of our favorite fashion blogger:

We picked the Bottega Veneta Parme Cross body Bag because the color ‘pink’ is intriguing and cute. Plus the iconic Intrecciato Nappa embellishment stands out from other brands. It’s notable and impressive.

What’s more?

Available in more colors than the rainbow, perhaps you can help lighten up the dark winter. Made from finely crafted nappa leather, this cross body bag has been accented with signature knot details.

Compact and essential, the piece features a slender and adjustable shoulder strap, with pure leather zip pulls. The soft suede interior comes with a practical zip compartment, coordinated mirror and a mobile phone pocket.
